Summary: The World is Not Enough
Review: Pierce Brosnan is better than ever in The World is Not Enough.Sophie Marceau is great as Elektra King but Denise Richards is only okay.Renard was an interesting henchman.The plot is good and the action is SPECTACULAR!The ski chase was my favorite in the series and the climax was excellent also.Title song is great as is the score.The hilarious Valentin Zukovsky comes back after debuting in GoldenEye but sadly he dies.The car was really cool but didn't do much like the car in GoldenEye.Though it may be a level below Thunderball, License to Kill, and The Spy who Loved Me, this is definitley one of my all-time favorite Bond films.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The very best bond movie ever!
Review: Pierce Brosnan is the best bond ever. I loved Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies. This movie is even better. I like Roger Moore and all the others bond movies a lot. This one is even better than Goldfinger and that is saying a lot. I can't wait to see the next one.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Nobody did it better then Bond
Review: The World is Not Enough was, I'm afraid a bit of a let down inmy opinion. While the movie does have some decent action sequences,and some terrific sets, this isn't quite the Bond some remember, and I'm afraid the franchise needs a serious breath of fresh air. The Bond movies used to be in a class of their own from other action movies. Now I am afraid that those two classes have joined, as the Bond films now feel more then ever like just regular action movies. Many of the elements that made the Bond movies great: fun action sequences, pretitle segments, cheeky humor, outragous stunts, beautiful women-with the alluring names and diabolical villians with tough henchman, are done to a bit of overkill here and are also starting to get a little tired if not changed. Pierce Brosnan isn't a bad Bond, and it was fun to see Robbie Coltraine reprise his GOLDENEYE role, Valentin. Denise Richards is SEVERLY out of place, as a nuclear physicist who runs around in hot pants-with the most ridiculous name in a movie I think I have ever heard. Lastly Robert Carlyle, who has the traditional Bond villian handicap, wasn't seen enough, didn't have, in my opinion his handicap exploited enough, and wasn't all that menacing. If another Bond movie is in the works, let me just give this little piece of advice to the creators, take a look at older, earliar Bond movies, see what made those films great and do your best to duplicate that success-try and get those creative juices flowing. In the meantime, The World is Not Enough isn't a great movie, you could do worse on a weekend afternoon, but you could certainly do a lot better. END

Summary: 007 - The Wold is Not Enough [March 20,2000]
Review: This is a great movie, not how in the very begining bond is aBanker, as he was in "tomorow never dies".

The boat chaseis excelnt considering what is "IN" the river they filmed it on. the submarine and the Tourture chair add to it all, with the ruturning russian to help add to the bond feel.

I also HIGHLY reccomed "The Thomas Crown Affair" its great, it also stars PIERCE BROSNAN....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Brosnan Delivers Once Again--The Best Since Connery
Review: I am a true Bond fan, having read all of the books and short stories and having seen all of the films in their theatrical releases.The last three have been the best since the 60's (I REALLY tried to be endeared to the Moore and Dalton films but, even after repeated viewings, each of the films with these actors as Bond are simply awful), and the biggest factor is Pierce Brosnan. First of all, Brosnan cares about the character, understands each of the carefully contrasted elements of his appeal as a screen icon and, with each film, pushes harder to return the films to their former glory. God bless 'im. This film continues on the right track, although I believe that Brosnan will have to fight the good fight in order to dispense with such glaring casting faux pas' as Denise Richards, in a wince-inducing portrayal. As to plot gaffes, even the best of the series (Dr. No through On Her Majesty's Secret Service)invited you to suspend your disbelief a bit more than you might otherwise be inclined to.

If Brosnan can keep the bean counters and demographics experts away from scripting and casting, the next few films-hopefully keeping Brosnan aboard while he's still youthful enough to carry the role-will bring back the genuine excitement and sense of epic adventure that remain the standard in adventure, intrigue and entertainment among action films. Oh, and by the way-let's not forget the renewed vitality of John Barry protege David Arnold's wonderful scores and the terrific title tracks of the last three films. Their contributions have thus far been invaluable.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Very Disappointing After Tomorrow Never Dies
Review: I thought TND was among the best Bonds, right up there with The Spy Who Loved Me (Well, not quite). But this one is a major step backwards, although not as low as A View To A Kill, which is doubtless the worst of them all.

The plot is boring and far too drawn out. The final payoff is very weak. Denise Richards is a babe, but when she comments that Bond is "No Nuclear Scientist", she is really taking about herself.

Bronson is all right, but some new writers are needed for the next one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brosnan has done it again!
Review: I really liked the movie. Had great special effects and the sound was just awesome. Pierce Brosnan is definitely the best Bond after Sean Connery....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Typical Good bond Movie
Review: "The World is Not Enough" is a typical entertaining and fun bond adventure. Pierce Brosnan again proves that he is the best Bond actor since Connery (he may be better? ).

The action is fun and hokey, just what you look for in a Bond film. The plot is interesting and involving. The writers did a good job of getting some of the other characters major roles (M, Valintin, and so on). I think it was a nice touch to involve M in the film more than usual.

The opening scene is awesome and original, and from there we're treated to everything you would expect from a Bond film; intrigue, wit, gambling, and sexy Bond girls.

Only two complaints:

1. Although Denise Richards is physically attractive, her acting belongs on late-night Cinemax movies. I can't believe how bad she is!

2. The climax aboard the submarine was derivitive and unsatisfying. Bond films, especially lately have been great untill the final "big scene" which usually falls flat. (Exception: Goldeneye)

Overall, I recommend it, although it is not without some small flaws.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Bond Film of All Time
Review: "The World is Not Enough" is the most powerful James Bond film of all time. It has the greatest special effects, action, and best acting. It has the taste of all the James Bond movies in one. Q is great as always,especially, when he tells Bond, "This is my vacation boat", of course Bond will destroy the boat, almost. Bond is on a special adventure to find out what really happened, yet a mystery. This movie has everything a movie needs to be classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best yet
Review: I loved this movie. Peirce Brosnan models his acting style after the king of James Bond's Sean Conory. It has all the fancy gadgets girls and guns.
